Good, apart from oven temperature calibration
4/5
The cooker was delivered 2 weeks ago. Initially I was worried because the pans seemed to slide across the hob like a puck on an air hockey table. However, the smooth surface has now roughened and the problem is less serious. I expect that in time, wear and tear to the top of the hob will stop the pans sliding around.
I read other reviews about the oven temperature being low and this is true. I preheated the oven to gas mark 5 and put in a ready meal for 30 minutes as per the cooking instructions and the food was dangerously under-cooked. From what I can tell the temperature settings cannot be calibrated.
I have bought an oven thermometer and measured the temperature on all five shelves at all the oven setting from 2 to 9. Even the top shelf is a lot cooler than it should be. I have made a chart and taped it on the grill front next to the BEKO symbol so that I can use my chart to set the dial depending upon the shelf used and temperature required.
I don’t understand why the manufacturers cannot sort out this apparent design error. All they need is to change the collar around the oven dial for one having the numbers in the right place.
Other then the problems mentioned, I am happy with this cooker.
